Week at a Glance:
Spalding: Review phonograms 1-54 will be reinforced with daily OPR/WPR and applied through analysis of daily spelling instruction. An emphasis on base words continues as the teacher helps children discover the meaning transferred to the derivatives as endings are added and prefixes introduced.
Math: In previous chapters, students have worked with numbers to 10. In this first lesson of chapter 4, students will review counting, comparing, and ordering numbers to 10 in preparation to working with numbers through 20. Students will be presented with new situations of counting past 10 and discuss strategies they can use to do so. They will also review prior knowledge of comparing and ordering numbers and using one-to-one correspondence
Grammer/ Writing: Students will identify the subject and predicate of a sentence and neatly and accurately copy a complete sentence. Students are working on retelling a story by identifying the characters, setting, problem and solution.
Literature: The Caterpillar by Christina Rossetti: This poem encourages students to reflect on the caterpillar’s metamorphosis by comparing it to death and rebirth.
Owl at Home is a children's book by Arnold Lobel about an owl who lives in a cozy house and has many adventures. This is a Classic to Keep.
History& Science: This week scholars will be learning about one of the first civilizations known as Mesopotamia. In Science, scholars will be starting our Unit 2: Plant & Animal Survival.
